CHAPTER 25
ZENEVIEVA.
The Queen watched helplessly as the guards flogged and sent lashes to my exposed skin.
The giggles and exciting murmurings could be heard while I muffled the in the excruciating pains that tore my flesh like fire.
My head was blank and my skin was burning, my wolf suppressed the pains and howled slowly.
This was the dilemma I had to face, the cruelty of being a mate to the King of this pack.
The lash went all over my body and I wept silently. I would never show my weakness to the world so they could smack their lips and giggle happily.
I can survive this.
"That's enough!!" His mum yelled and went forward to the guards and they stopped.
I felt limp as my head went down the moment the withdrew from the beatings.
I wanted to scream, lament, laugh and cry but I couldn't do anything.
I just froze.
"Release her and throw her into the dungeon." Tyson said and the whole crowd gasp.
"What?"
"Yes mum!" He replied to his mother who stared at him in a bizzare stare.
"That was the rule,she goes to the dungeon with hard labor."
"Did you do this so that you won't get married to her or just to spite her this bad?"
"I'm doing this to serve as a lesson to anyone who goes against the royal ones especially when it has to do with the plaque.
"Buy you both just got married, what is this?". The Queen yelled in frustration bit Tyson had made his mind up.
"Throw her into the dungeon for the next seven days, I'll take it from there when she's out. You may all dismiss."
He informed them and they all dispersed while they hijacked me naked and dragged me on the floor brushing my skin in the process.
I couldn't miss the smirk in Collette and Marcella's eyes as their lips curved in satisfaction.
I need to heal so I can survive, I really don't want to think about whatever I faced just now and what transpired between us last night.
I might literally die of heartbreak, my wolf wanted to break down but I kept assuring her that we would be fine .
It was a cold dark place with a tiny window and a huge door with iron bars.
"Lexa?!!" I gasped in shock.
"Oh my god! Zenevieva!" She stood up hurriedly and tore her gown which had double layers to cover me as I was thrown inside.
TYSON.
"Tyson!! Tyson, I'm talking to you, don't you dare walk out on me!'. She glared angrily and I stopped.
"How dare you!" She roared but I wasn't affected a bit. I finally got my share of revenge and more are coming.
"I did the needful! Stop taking sides with Vieva just because she's your favorite! It could have been anyone and I'm sure you won't say a thing."
"Jeez! Veieva is your chosen mate, the new crowned queen not merely up to 24 hours! Why will you do that to her? Where is ….whe..where is my son?"
Her voice breaks and tears spill.
Well that emotional blackmail won't work on me.
"I think you're being partial mum, as long as its Vieva, you practically don't give a damn about anything else!! Do I need to remind you that she broke your plaque?"
"Vieva isn't careless , Tyson."
"Here we go, you blindly trust this girl that you don't even know what she is capable of doing?"
"And that makes you strip her, huh? I pray for you to be perfect in all your ways Tyson.
I'm glad you said I'm being partial even though you're wrong, I act equally and I'm impartial.
Just be perfect Tyson, I will triple what you've done to that innocent girl. I promise you!"
She threatened and left while I rolled my eyes and watched her leave.
Collette walked in.
"She threatened you right?"
"You know mum well, don't you?"
"Just ignore her, you gave her what we least expected. Jeez, Tyson! I think that's way too extreme!"
"What? Don't you dare act as if you don't want her dead."
"Well, flogging her naked totally threw me off. But I still love you for that." She winked. "Can't we just make her stay there longer and make Marcella your bride even if the world doesn't know about that?"
"No!" I gasped. "I'll definitely be overthrowing myself on the throne and that's not a valid reason to kick her out or abandon her there "
She sighed.
"Whatever, just make Marcella happy. She's supported you way too long to be with you "
"I know."
I sighed and sat on the bed.
"By the way….the Alpha of White Cave pack would be coming over for Packs festival "
She said gleefully and I rolled my eyes.
"Don't tell me you're still obsessed with Ethan?"
"I'm not!! It's you who's obsessed over Marcella and that idiotic bride of yours?"
"At least she's my mate and Marcella acknowledges me, but Ethan isn't your mate and doesn't give a fuck about you. You keep disgracing me every time I'm having a conversation with him. Don't do it this time.".
I wanted her.
"You don't have any right to tell me who I want and how to flaunt myself before anyone. Don't repeat that again!"
"Where's Marcella?" I cut her off.
"She went home, her mother sent for her and she had to hurry. She will definitely be back. I need to check on the love of your life in her new home."
She said sarcastically and I hissed.
The Packs festival is coming soon and It irked me so much!
The door duties of being a king can be tiring as hell and this is one of it.
The knock on the door sounded and I told whoever it was to come in.
"The Queen has collapsed!"
I got up at once.
"Who? My mum?"
"Uhhmm no, your wife."
I set a heavy slap across his face.
"Don't you ever call her my queen, She's Zenevieva!"
"I'm sorry, your majesty."
"Get the fuck out of my sight!"
"Yeah..uh…I said she's coll.."
"And so? Listen to me very well, if anything happens to Zenevieva over there to the extent of losing her life, I will gouge your eyes and heart out.
I don't give a damn about her but she still remains my Luna and Queen of this Pack!".
